Many students walk into their first year of college calculus with nervous anticipation, bracing for a whirlwind of equations, integrals and derivatives. However, for students taking calculus with ...

Abstract: This paper presents a lightweight hardware accelerator optimized for elliptic curve cryptography (ECC), supporting three standardized curves over the prime field GF($2^{255}-19$ ): ...

Bitcoin’s long-term design came under renewed scrutiny on Friday after VanEck CEO Jan van Eck questioned whether the network provides sufficient encryption and privacy during an appearance on CNBC’s ...

A research team from China have proposed a new, experimentally feasible, method to encrypt messages using the principles of quantum mechanics Quantum computers are set to revolutionise cryptography, ...

A prominent US senator has called on the Federal Trade Commission to investigate Microsoft for “gross cybersecurity negligence,” citing the company’s continued use of an obsolete and vulnerable form ...

The company claims the new communication feature is end-to-end encrypted, meaning messages exchanged on it can only be read by the sender and their receiver, and — in theory — no one else, including X ...

Quantum computing has long been portrayed as a looming threat to cybersecurity. Headlines warn of “Q-Day”—the moment when quantum machines will render today’s encryption useless. But behind the hype ...

Hard problems are usually not a welcome sight. But cryptographers love them. That’s because certain hard math problems underpin the security of modern encryption. Any clever trick for solving them ...

A new research paper by Google Quantum AI researcher Craig Gidney shows that breaking widely used RSA encryption may require 20 times fewer quantum resources than previously believed. The finding did ...
